Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam Threat Hunter is a new feature introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3  that provides the speed of YARA scans and the breadth of malware detection of a classic antivirus. Note: this function is able to scan backups only for VMs with Windows guest OS and without any file or volume encryption at guest level (like Bitlocker). But how fast it is? In the Veeam Community somebody declares 3x-6x faster in testing depending on the contents being scanned when testing against Windows Defender.
